New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference

Defensive Athlete of the Week- Myles Lakin (So., GK), WPI
 
Sophomore Myles Lakin (Reading, Mass.) backstopped the Engineers to a perfect 2-0 opening week with a pair of shutouts on the road. Lakin played all 120 minutes in net without conceding a goal, turning aside all 14 shots on goal faced for a flawless 1.000 save percentage. The sophomore was instrumental in Friday’s 2-0 victory at Roger Williams, making seven saves, including five in the opening quarter, to keep the Hawks off the board during an early surge. Lakin followed that performance with another seven-save effort on Sunday at the University of New England, highlighted by clutch stops on penalty corners in both halves, to preserve a 1-0 decision. Through two games, the sophomore netminder owns a perfect 0.00 goals-against average and two clean sheets, anchoring a WPI defense that has held opponents scoreless. At the same time, the Engineers outscored their foes 3-0 to begin the 2025 campaign.
